    It Came From Within: Anger Introduction We have been talking about the enemies of the heart.

    Here is a seed thought on forgiveness. Take it and develope it. This is an article I wrote for a newsletter that goes into several prisons in the U.S.

    Must I Forgive? MAT 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a ...read more

    When have you faced an obstacle that seemed impossible? Jesus raising Lazarus back to life teaches us to 1) Trust God's timing, 2) Trust God's heart, and 3) Trust God's might.

    Dead Man Walking John 11:1-45 March 29, 2020 I got my sermon title from that phrase used to describe someone from Death Row heading to their execution. They are called “Dead Man Walking.” It’s an eerie title for someone who is moving invariably toward their death. However, in today’s ...read more

     | 8,281 views

    My wife as soon as her gas tank hits half a tank, she says it’s time to get gas but me on the other hand will drive my truck till I nearly run out of gas. Being tired and weary is a physical symptom that indicates the body needs rest and refreshment.

    no matter how lost or alienated we may feel, we are never lost from the love of Jesus

    Luke 15:1-10 How many of you have a habit of losing things: your wallet, your purse, your keys, a document, an address, a phone number, a pair of socks or earrings?

    Dealing With Discouragement Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 178 views

    Discouragement is not a sign of weak faith; it is a reality we must confront with divine truth and spiritual tools. What matters is not whether we feel discouraged, but how we respond when it comes.

    DEALING WITH DISCOURAGEMENT By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 19:1–18 “And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?” – 1 Kings 19:9 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Psalm 42:11, John 14:1, 2 ...read more

    God Is In Control Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 24, 2018
     | 18,415 views

    In this sermon on Acts 12 and Peter's miraculous escape from prison, we wrestle with the truth that God is in control. This leads to a lot of assurance, but it also leads to trust.

    Introduction: A. You have probably heard the glib saying, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” 1. Although it is true that suffering can lead to blessing, it is easier to say it than experience it. B. One day a young man who sold magazine subscriptions door to door, came home with $25 which he ...read more

    We can follow Simon Peter, the man who denied the Lord, through the darkness of despair into the dawning of a new day of hope.

    When The Morning Comes John 21:3-4 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not ...read more

    Those who do not know the Resurrected Christ either have to attain some kind of Buddhist impassivity or despair of any relief.

    Tuesday of the 30th Week in Course 2019 Saint Narcissus Today St. Paul contrasts our life in this world with our hope to live eternally in the arms of the Blessed Trinity.

    Paul said, “We despaired even of life.” It is evident that the record in Acts does not give all the dangers that threatened Paul in Ephesus.

    Christains all pass through valleys of despair and depression. Here are three truths that will aid the believer while he/she is in the valley.
